frunge-lettrine

A LaTeX document class to insert initials at the beginning of every paragraph to simulate the old master’s typesetting.

Purpose

This package should help you (and in the first place, me) to typeset beatiful books in the style of the old incunabula. The main features are: Multicolored initials at every paragraph and thin lines under each line (as in old handwritings and incunabula).

frunge-lettrine is a wrapper for the great package lettrine by Daniel Flipo. The main purpose is the /automatic/ insertion of an /multicolored/ initial at every paragraph. Last (but not least!) it inserts thin lines.

Usage

Compile the document saying

xelatex frunge-lettrine.dtx

and read the created pdf as documentation. (Or read the dtx itself, if you’re used to the code.)
